Sampford Peverell is a small village and civil parish in Mid Devon, in the county of Devon, England. It lies beside the attractive towpath of the Grand Western Canal Country Park and close to the River Exe, with easy road access via the M5 (junction 27), making it convenient for commuting to Exeter and Taunton and a short drive from Tiverton.
Historically the name recalls the old Peverell family who held land here after the Norman Conquest, and the village retains a rural, agricultural character while also serving as a base for canal-side walking, cycling and angling. Local life tends to centre on a village hall and community amenities, and the canal country park brings a modest stream of visitors, so the place feels both quietly traditional and quietly connected to the larger towns nearby.
